mircea_popescu: fucking memory hole, "here guise, let me curl | sudo bash some stuff about how curl | sudo bash is bad mmkay"
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes the fact that the imbeciles commenting on that thing stupid shite like "you make a poor assumption that the NSA or whoever couldn't also add backdoors and other such snoop to the source code base, so when you compile it yourself, you are compiling the NSA right in. Yes it would be more difficult, because the maintainers should be watching, but if they've been forced into it, would you even know?" doesn't eve
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i'm putting that in here since we're doing all sorts of trivia shit like "who's paying usgavin to shit in bitcoin this week" and so on.
mircea_popescu: artifexd you making all this audit process public somewhere ?
mircea_popescu: over the course of their lives, joggers spend about 6 years jogging
mircea_popescu: also in the news : joggers live for 6 years longer than non joggers
mircea_popescu: it still seems overdramatic to me. chick just didn't wanna bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: or, in the words of tiffany, "Who cares if the security let u do this it doesn't mean u should have done it"
mircea_popescu: But then, everything got Windows-ized. "Apps" were the rage, which you download and run, without being concerned about security, or the ability to upgrade the application to the next version. Because "you only live once".
mircea_popescu: Back then, years ago, Linux distributions were trying to provide you with a safe operating system. With signed packages, built from a web of trust. Some even work on reproducible builds.
mircea_popescu: maybe this is what asciilifeform has to do in hell. build all the shit.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: "Nobody seems to know how to build Hadoop from scratch. It's an incredible mess of dependencies, version requirements and build tools."
mircea_popescu: (i dun imagine anyone seriously deluded themselves into the belief that mit's involvement is going to disuade anyone one ; i do imagine mit thought itself large enough to absorb the shock and not end up like mtgox as a result - which is just as silly, but not necessarily visible from boston)
mircea_popescu: anyway, b-a vs mit is a lot better than b-a vs some scammer's fake "foundation". we're going up in the world.
mircea_popescu: anwyay, yeah, people were derping about hoiw forcing usg to assume its assets is "bad" and the foundation pretense was somehow "better"
mircea_popescu: other than the obvious "well it's all he's got, it'd better be"
mircea_popescu: dude why is it that every internet derp thinks his attention is important, valuable or desired ?
mircea_popescu: "I’m not going to make this about the so-called hacker who is responsible for the list, claiming he did it to prove a point about the safety of Fetlife’s members. Attention is what the douchebag wants and I refuse to give it to him. Now, did he breach Fetlife as he’s claimed? Of course not. That takes a skill he lacks."
mircea_popescu: how do you encrypt a posting today to the key of future readers ?
mircea_popescu: i don't understand how beautyon wants this gpg forum thing to work
☟︎ mircea_popescu: "hey, i'm just as stupid as him, but at least i'm not fat!"
mircea_popescu: " Unsurprisingly, this level of (motherly) indulgence and (fatherly) neglect had produced a girl whose sense of worth was so over-inflated it could lift a fleet of Zeppelins."
mircea_popescu: because a zepellin has 0 apparent weight, so it lifts itself ?
mircea_popescu: i dunno dood, lift the washington monument, realign jupiter, fill the mariane gap, cover the usg deficit
mircea_popescu: pretty much all the derpternet is good for these days is this sort of unintentional self-humour crit > 9000
mircea_popescu: "a girl whose sense of worth was so over-inflated it could lift a fleet of Zeppelins." yeah, totally. this is probably the iconic reddit comment. what, buoyancy ? words are words and the world consists of pictures. blips are big, so this simile works!
mircea_popescu: fucking hell, they hold whoring against the man that does it but not in favour of the man that doesn't do it ? ball beatings already.
mircea_popescu: which i suppose makes me the perfect storm of a horribru father (as per reddit) : the cross between "absent and physically abusive military father." and "coke snorting, random hooker banging, land development dealing father."
mircea_popescu: cuz i suspect this is the deep reason asciilifeform doesn't want offspring. i tell you if the 19 yo snot that imagines he's better than me (like you know, every single fuctkared 19 yo snot "being famous in the bitcoin community" etc that we see here periodically bubble up his idiocy and then six months later fail abjectly and disappear) actually grew up in my house, i'd shoot it to death with blunt toothpicks.
mircea_popescu: what the fuck would it take for these idiots to think their parents ~their superiors~ ?
mircea_popescu: but the kicker : the other family is a successful man and his ambitious wife. THIS IS ALSO NOT GOOD.
mircea_popescu: viva la reddit, but at least learn teh fucking rhetorics, rather than deluge the interwebs in chicken scribblings.
mircea_popescu: now why exactly would someone decide that their home life is miserable ? oh, because that's how fucktarded adolescents think. okay.
mircea_popescu: you know, if THAT woman had an equally uncharitable view of the speaker, he'd probably read "good for almost nothing but shitting diapers idiot"
mircea_popescu: then one's family is a military man and his pliable wife. but no, not for shithead. "B&P (Booze&Pills) : Ahabs good for almost nothing, rehab bound mother. Major Asshole : Ahabs equally absent and physically abusive military father."
mircea_popescu: only fucktarded teens think this way, but then again i guess that's what they are.
mircea_popescu: so, a guy and his best friend. ok, this happens. they're friends for the usual stupid reasons : lived nearby, and never contradicted each other.
mircea_popescu: i've done neither. i've also not laid eggs, nor have i been a steel girder to "see what it's like" for rebar.
mircea_popescu: "this person sucks because of his sucky environment" "yes, that is exactly what i was saying : that this person is an empty vessel. he contributes nothing from inside."
mircea_popescu: ascii_lander as the tango dancer put it, "the man pushes so the woman knows to spread her legs and let him get in"
mircea_popescu: hunting the image. "were friendly". as if the appearance of friendliness is worth two shits.
